  <title>Draw Spaces</title>

  <p>The <app>Draw Spaces</app> plugin is a simple plugin that can mark spaces,
  tabs, and other types of whitespace with a small, visible marker. By making
  whitespace visible, you can more easily see how whitespace is used in a
  document, and can apply spacing strategies more consistently.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>To enable the plugin:</title>
    <item>
      <p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
      <guiseq><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
      <gui style="tab">Plugins</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui style="menuitem">Draw Spaces</gui> to enable the plugin.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press <gui style="button">Preferences</gui> to set its options.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>Though you will be able to see the markers when you work on a file, the
    markers will not be visible when you print a file to paper.</p>
